Cloud integration made easy: CockroachDB and Google Pub/Sub
Have you ever wanted to stream data from your database without having to install additional resources that require more time and energy to maintain? Just recently, I spoke with a {person who shall remain nameless} about how they wanted to dump new data to a file, move it from one cloud provider to another, and then place it in storage for consumption by downstream systems. There was more to it and it hurt my head to listen. I had only one question for {person to remain nameless} “When did you start hating your fellow coworkers?” I mean, really… other people will have to maintain that mess.

Horizontal Scaling - And Why I’m Grateful for CockroachDB
I’ve long extolled the benefits of CockroachDB and its ability to horizontally scale for reads and writes.

To avoid being disingenuous, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and give it a go myself.

The limitations of PostgreSQL in financial services
PostgreSQL has more than 35 years of active development under its belt making it one of the most powerful and reliable relational database management systems (RDBMS). Even today it’s the fourth most popular database in the world, backed by a global community of dedicated supporters. It’s a good fit for business critical workloads because PostgreSQL delivers a highly stable foundation and is ACID compliant. This is also why it’s often used in financial services and for use cases that handle money.
